Re: Role Model Teams
Titan Robotics -- Team 492. Gracious friends, generous helpers, and steady promoters of FIRST in Washington. Their Chairman's Award at Portland this year was richly deserved -- even in a year where their robot didn't work as well as their magically-smooth (and very successful) 2005 robot. While TRC stands out around here, the Washington teams are all mutually supportive. We have our own email list and conduct a shared kickoff in January, where we all get together and wargame the new challenge. While 492 stands out, I also consider teams like 488, 1318, 360, 949, and 3-4 I'm forgetting right now to be good friends of ours. Despite the lack of big-budget sponsors in this region (oh, to have the financial support a lot of teams in other areas get) we have a growing FIRST community that cooperates off the field and has spirited competition on it.

If we could just get the PNW regional in Bellevue or Seattle every other year...
